I realized a very long time ago that I have a long-standing love affair with all kinds of music, and pretty much need to be around a radio wherever I go. I bought a portable radio for this purpose, and I have to say, I have taken it to many places, some of which you might not expect.
One of the first places that I realized I really needed to bring my portable radio was to work. I cannot stand dead silence in my office, and while most of the time I have probationers coming in and out, there are those times where I am doing administrative work and like to close my door and put on some music. My portable radio allows me to do that and it helps me relax as well.
Another place that I always bring my portable radio is to my cousin's house in Baltimore. He does not have a stereo or any way to play music besides his iPod, so I decided that it would be in my best interest to come prepared. Now, when he is in his room jamming out to his favorite tunes, I can have my music on in my room as well, and neither one of use disturbs the other one.
